阅读理解

    What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A pen.

    Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.

    Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.

    In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.

    The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.

    Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.

    Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

Children are born with a natural interest in everything. And they always find certain activities more interesting than others. Here are some hobbies for you to choose from for your kids.

Reading is a must for all age groups. Reading is often viewed as boring, and now many children don't love it, but what one needs to understand is that reading is a learning experience and is a major factor in shaping children's life. There are plenty of books that can cater (迎 合) to children's different interests. If they are disinterested at first, you can give them books with a lot of pictures.

A coin collection is great to understand the fact that different countries have different currencies(货币). This hobby can really make kids realise the value of money and its importance. This hobby not only can help children develop the habit of saving money from an early age, but also is great to make them more responsible, as they need to keep their collections.

Let kids learn how to play a musical instrument. This will give them an advantage in their age group. It will add a great deal of confidence to their personality. Music has its way of calming down a person. So, this hobby will give kids something to do in their free time,

All in all, if kids develop useful hobbies, they'll help them pass their time nicely. They'll help them grow and develop in an amazing way.

I found it hard to communicate with my mother. Relations between us became difficult. 

One day I ran away from home and stayed outside for a few hours. When I returned home at night, I saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my mother's face. We knew that we were in great need of talk. We agreed to havebreakfast together the next morning. In the end, we decided to go to a restaurant.

On our way to the restaurant, I noticed my mother had two notebooks in her hands. I asked her what they were used for. She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write our own feelings than talking about them. We should write down our feelings.

Our first topic was"Why am I so angry?" I wrote a half page, and my mom filled up nearly three pages. I saw the tears run down her face while she was writing. I never realized anyone could hide so much anger. After we finished writing, we exchanged our notebooks. As soon as I started reading my mother's words. I began to cry and so did she. When we finished reading, we discussed our feelings. Finally, it felt like all the anger inside me went away from my body. Our talk helped me realize so many things I had never thought of before, not only about my mother but also about other people.

My mother and I continue using our notebooks as a way of communicating. We know that no matter how we feel about each other, our notebooks are a safe place to express our feelings. We have come to an agreement that we write"I love you" at the end of each other.
